Alice's eyes lit up again. If Olvera could decipher the contents of the Kreisov Brass Scroll, wouldn't it mean that she would have the opportunity to discover the royal treasures from six hundred years ago, and thus reach the sky in one step and achieve a class leap?
, you can even hire Ringer in turn and let him wear a maid outfit...ahem, forget it.
All in all, Alice, the richest man in the world, here I come!
But before that.
Alice suddenly thought of something and said to Olvera hurriedly: "Don't say it yet, don't say it yet, there are many people here, it will be terrible if anyone hears it..."
For example, a museum curator next to me.
Alice quietly raised her gaze and glanced at Professor David, only to find that he was just looking at her with doubtful eyes, as if she suspected that she was suffering from irregular attacks of emotional anxiety. Then she remembered that due to fate
Due to the cover of the silk thread, Professor David, as a mortal, can theoretically neither see Olvera nor hear what she says, so there is no need to worry at all.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then raised her head and showed a very standard fake smile to the unclear curator: "It's nothing, Professor David, I just... had an illness, um, yes, I had an illness.
.In fact, I suffer from irregular attacks of emotional anxiety, and sometimes I make some behaviors that are difficult for you to understand. Please be patient."
For the sake of the illusory treasure, she even betrayed herself. This golden-haired maid is completely hopeless!
Feeling very embarrassed, Metien covered his cheek and couldn't bear to look directly. Professor David's expression also became very complicated: Do you think I am so easy to deceive?
Alice didn't care what he was thinking. She randomly found a topic to talk about, and deliberately made it awkward. While they continued to patiently explain the history to them, she muttered perfunctorily. This attitude made it clear that this was not a good conversation.
Looks like.
After all, Professor David is also the curator of the Luberon Museum. He usually has a lot of things to do, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of it. Today coincides with the International Exposition, and he is very interested. He wants to popularize the glorious history of Semburg for international friends, but he did not expect to be so slighted.
, he was probably really angry, and after a brief chat, he left with an excuse to entertain other guests with more distinguished status.
I don’t want to play with you country bumpkins from the Great Britta country. You don’t even have a noble Renweiting accent. Are you worthy?
Alice said that when I become the richest man in the world, I will be matched soon.
She watched Professor David's back go away, and after gradually blending into the crowd of people visiting the exhibition hall, she turned her head enthusiastically and said to Olvera: "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Olivia tilted her head: "?"
"Oh, didn't you say you had a way to interpret it?" Alice waved her hand very proudly, with the demeanor and magnanimity of a rich man: "Come on, let's find a remote corner and explain it in detail!"
Olvera didn't have any objections. As a literary girl, she was also very interested in the contents of Kreisov's Brass Scroll. However, before things evolved into unauthorized actions, she had to seek someone's opinion first, so
I turned around and looked around, but I couldn't see anyone's shadow. I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that he seemed to have disappeared for a long time.
"Linge is missing." The princess said blankly, her expression suddenly turned frightened: "Could it be that...she was abducted?"
It’s a plot often seen in storybooks, where a child gets lost from his parents in a crowded and lively place, and is then abducted and sold into an old witch’s lair to work as a coolie or conduct human experiments. It’s so scary.
Saint Xalia spoke up in time, interrupting her sister's random thoughts: "He went to see a friend and will be back soon."
"Oh."
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.
But if Ringer is not here, who will make the decision?
So he turned his attention to his nominal sister and waited for her instructions obediently. Not only Oveira, but also Metien and Xemi, including Xiaoyang, all made the same move. It seemed that Ringer
In her absence, the shepherd girl became the backbone of everyone. As for Alice, who is she?
The golden-haired maid also knew that her credibility was almost zero, and no matter what she said, no one would listen. She looked at Saint Shalia longingly, blinking her eyes in a cute way, trying to impress the shepherd girl's heart with her cute offensive, with her big ruby eyes.
Half of it was written to please, and the other half was written to expect. This situation reminded Saint Shalia of her time in Linwell City. Alice seemed to be using this look to beg him to give her the destiny buff.
of.
After many years...well, many months later, this unscrupulous guy finally learned to call mom again, and he still did it so easily and casually, which is touching.
Saint Xalia was very pleased - in Alice's eyes anyway - she nodded slightly and said a wise saying: "As long as you are happy."
……
Ringer didn't know that the girls were doing things behind his back. He was shocked when he heard Rochelle's last words: "It turns out that the so-called magic system was created by the Kingdom's War Affairs Department.
?"
Rochelle glanced at him: "What did you think at first?"
"I thought it should be a union of religious orders." Linge replied: "Because the person who taught me magic once told me that magic devices and related technologies will hardly be leaked out, and they are all in the hands of a unified religious group. If
If you are not the actual founder, it would be difficult to keep it secret to this extent, right?"
"What he said is true, and your guess is also reasonable, but it is a pity that it is not the truth. Moreover, the question of who created the magic system has not yet been answered. People only know that it was first published on the
The stage of history is that in Clausewitz's military reform, it was equipped as the latest war equipment; later, the Steam Order rose with the help of steam engines, and seemed to have obtained magic technology in some way and used it
Combined with steam technology, a new, more powerful magic weapon was developed; when the Order of Steam was replaced by the Union of Orders, the latter inherited the relevant heritage from the ruins of the former and spent a lot of time and money on research.
, so that it has the scale it has today."
In this way, the history of the magic system is much longer than Ringer imagined. It first appeared in the 12th century AD, which is nearly 800 years ago.
"Whether it is the Clausewitz military reform period, the Steam Order period, or the Union of Orders period...from beginning to end, this technology has been strictly kept secret and unknown to outsiders." Rochelle said: "The Kingdom
The Ministry of War Affairs spent ten years and invested a huge amount of money to finally establish an army composed entirely of magicians. It awakened spirituality for every soldier and equipped them with standard magic equipment, so that they would have the ability to adapt to the world.
The ability to fight on terrain and the mutual cooperation between the arms have completely crushed the military armed forces of the old era. This regiment is the famous 'Dragoon Regiment'."
Having said this, he suddenly asked Ringer a question: "Does this remind you of anything?"
Lin Ge was puzzled at first, but then an idea flashed in his mind and he blurted out: "Magic advance army!?"
"Not bad."
Rochelle smiled lowly: "History is a chariot that keeps moving forward on the road. It is always moving forward, but the plots on the wheels are all things that have happened in the past, as if human beings have never learned anything.
Lessons blindly repeat the cycle of fixed memories. This is what the saints warn us: everything that will happen in the world is what has happened in the past, nothing more than this."
Ringer did not think so philosophically. He thought of a question: the original magic vanguard army was an army established by magicians to fight against extraordinary beings; then, the dragoon regiment established today to imitate its actions, and
Who is it against?
The answer is actually very simple.
"The establishment of the Dragoon Regiment is a prelude to the magic system's fight against the magic system, and may also be a signal." Rochelle said.
This answer did not surprise the young man. He let out a breath and asked him: "Because the magic system also wants to replace the magic system, just like the magicians replaced the extraordinary ones in the past?"
"If this is the case, those who created the magic system should choose to make it public in order to expand the influence of magicians, instead of strictly guarding it. Even if they cooperate with various countries, they only provide some finished magic tools or less important ones.
Technical data. It would be fine if only the person who created the magic system was so stubborn, but the Steam Order and the Union of Orders that later inherited this technology also upheld the same attitude, which is really puzzling."<
/p>
"After much thought, people finally came up with a reasonable explanation." Rochelle looked deeply: "Whether it is the founder of the magic system, the Steam Order or the United Order, the reason why they do not promote this technology publicly is
, are all the same, that is, to maintain the stability of social order."
"Maintain the stability of social order?"
"Yes, in the past, extraordinary beings and magicians had very strict requirements on individual quality, and required a lot of resources to cultivate them. This means that whether extraordinary beings or magicians, they cannot account for a large proportion of the total number of human beings. Naturally,
It is impossible to forcibly interfere with the civilization process of the outer world. However, the magic system is different. It has lower spiritual requirements. It is better to say that there are no requirements. As long as you can sense the existence of magic, it is enough. Therefore, the cost of preparing magic potions is also
It has been further reduced, and it can even be prepared without any extraordinary materials, just ordinary herbs."
Rochelle said: "This means that as long as they have the talent to awaken spirituality, any mortal can easily master the power of magic devices and then use them to kill a soldier, even if the latter has received training and the former is awakening
Spirituality was just an ordinary mortal before, but the power of the magic device is enough to bridge this gap. What's more, the magic device itself also has the property of easy operation, it is like a more powerful revolver, any
If a person wants to use it, he only needs three steps: load the bullet, aim, and then pull the trigger."
"Can you imagine what a world would be like in a world where the magic system is publicly promoted and everyone can master the power of magic?"
"Confusion." This was Ringer's first reaction.
"And greater chaos." This is Rochelle's dull addition.
It will even subvert the existing civilization system and social order, causing countless killings, wars, blood and death, and definitely more mortals will die than in the war between extraordinary beings and magicians.
